Hi CF-Devs out there!

My problem is, that when attaching files via cfmailparam - no matter if inline
or not - and using a filename that contains or a non 7bit-ASCII character or a
simple space, the filename is not displayed correctly in Outlook nor
Thunderbird. I am sure that this topic has been discussed here earlier but I
really don't find any topic when using the Forum Search function... so please
help anyway :)

My code is the following:
<cfmailparam type="#variables.attachments[i].getContentType()#"
file="#variables.attachments[i].getFilename()#"

disposition="#this.dispositionType(variables.attachments[i].isInline())#"
contentID = "#variables.attachments[i].getCid()#">

When I revise the generated email code then I find the following:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*2=nger.csv;
filename*0*=UTF-8''emailempf; filename*1*=%c3%a4
Content-ID: <DEE13419-D022-9396-C8A4DF2AAAA7C4EF>

You can see that the filename (emailempf�nger.csv) breaks up into several
pieces which according to
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2231.html is a valid format but obviously is not
interpreted correctly by e.g. Outlook. Or am I missing something else?

I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Sebastian

I tried the following and it worked for me:
<cfmailparam file="C:\Detail.xls" type="text" >
in cfmail tag.
Please send the optional values that you are using for the following
1) variables.attachments.getContentType()
2)variables.attachments.getFilename()
3)this.dispositionType(variables.attachments.isInline())
4)variables.attachments.getCid()

The filename you used does not contain any non 7bit ASCII character. The
problem only occurs if I use characters like "�","�","�" but even [space] does
provoke the error.

The variables hold the following values (you can see them in the source
posted, too):
1) variables.attachments.getContentType() : application/octet-stream
2) variables.attachments.getFilename() : [AbsoluteFilePath]/emailempf�nger.csv
3) this.dispositionType(variables.attachments.isInline()) : attachment
4) variables.attachments.getCid(): DEE13419-D022-9396-C8A4DF2AAAA7C4EF

Cheers!
